On a crisp day with a temperature of -16 degrees Celsius (3 degrees Fahrenheit), sea smoke, a type of fog, developed as a result of the existence of a very cold and still air mass over water that is comparatively warm, as seen here near Nesbyen, Norway.

Pretty amazing, snowy, late-winter picture, John!
Looks like you could almost enter the grand-arch rainbow diamond-dust cave entrance at the bottom of the mountain and enter into a cave system. The majestic mountain peaks almost above rise up to the cloudy heavens and appear to float on the lower-level stratus clouds gradually lifting due to the weak late-winter sun’s heat.
